Kinetica 6.2.0.42 Release Notes

Build version: 6.2.0.42

HIGHLIGHTS:

Various bug fixes - 5 issues were fixed

FIXES:

KGEO-649

Support 'spheroid' metric for st_area

KGEO-650

ST_area improvement for the case of sphere option: It appears that smaller polygon area computations are very sensitive to the sub-corner angle oriented area signs. The near zero tolerance selection was observed to be too low. Once this is changed to 1.0E-10 from 1.0E-12 the results started to appear acceptable/comparable to PostGIS version for the spherical option

KOLAP-1580

Fix the cast invalid charN to time bug when changing column properties

KOLAP-1610

Update all_tests and add test_alter_table_bugs_and_more.py

KOLAP-1799

Two fixes: NVL should return the promoted type of both parameters. Big Literals should be treated as LONG instead of INT
